NGO Funds India

Independent directory · Updated continuously

Funding programs for NGOs in India, in one place.

Government schemes, CSR funds, foundation grants and fellowships — each page carries the eligibility, deadline, grant size, past grantees and application route stated by the funder.

On every program page

Eligibility, spelled out

12A, 80G, CSR-1, FCRA, Darpan — every statutory requirement listed, including the ones the program is silent about.

Real deadlines

Every date is dated. Pages show when the deadline was last verified, or say the program is rolling.

Grant sizes, not ranges

Amounts stated as the funder published them — no invented minimums, no borrowed figures from adjacent programs.

Past grantees

Who has actually won money, how much, and in what year — the strongest signal an NGO can get before applying.
